I am new to the SOG part of the forum here and wanted to stop in and say hi. I have wanted to pick up a Stingray for years and have just put it off, and now they have discontinued them. What a shame, these people buying knives these days do not know what a quality knife is I guess. It does not have all the frills that the others have, so. It has been around for years, and now supply and demand has signaled the end for this fine piece of cutlery. May we all pause and reflect on this wonderful cutting instrument.
